Life is full of diverse experiences. When we look through the window and see the growing trees and birds chirping sitting thereon, we feel connected to the birds and trees. Sometimes I feel that the trees must be the most evolved beings who just keep giving to the world without ever stopping, even for a moment. They survive even when we exploit them and deliberately damage them just because of their selfless drive to give. They have so much patience.
Wind blows, and the leaves of the tree start dancing and start making food again for feeding all the beings on this Earth. Some human beings will take credit for feeding human beings because he is distributing food through some NGO, some will take credit for producing the crop, some will take credit for cooking the food, and some will take credit for processing and packaging the food. The trees and plants are working non-stop without any credit. The leaves are dancing with the wind and making the food, as if they are singing the song of life.
Why do we glorify our work so much? Why are there awards and rewards? Do trees seek any rewards? What madness all around? Do we realize that we have forgotten to dance to the tune of life due to our obsession with desires. The leaves on the tree are not craving the wind. They know that the wind will blow at its own time. They are doing their work. They don't put a condition that we will work only when the wind blows. They do their duty and fall off when their time is over to get converted into fertilizer for the soil. There is no supervision or management. Every leaf is doing its own work. No boss is sitting on their head to force their own agenda on them. Every leave is self-motivated.
I don't know where humanity is heading with our deep desire to control. Why are we so insecure that we want to control everything? We want to control our relationships, our kids, our subordinates, and everything else around us. We don't look around. There is an inherent spontaneity in the entire universe. The Earth does not need somebody's control to revolve around the Sun. The universe does not need somebody's control to expand. The bosons and fermions are taking birth from "field" and merging back into that without any control. It is because even the minuscule particle is made of the same "life," and that's why it is "aware" of reality. We grow up and make progress, to just grow "stupid" to drop that "intelligence" and call it "development". The same child who learns to walk and speak without any assistance struggles to learn a few books. He is under constant stress to perform. Because the entire society is sitting in judgment to control his spontaneity, and that's why we have so much stress and unhappiness in the human world.
